FOURTH GENERATION

100. Jeptha TERRELL ⁽¹⁶⁾ was born about 1733 in Caroline County, Virginia. He died on 30 Oct 1810 in Granville County, NC.
Jeptha Terrell was in the North Carolina Militia on 08 Oct 1754 in Cpt. Sugar Jones' Company, William Eaton's Regiment (Muster Roll, NC Colonial Records, Vol. XXII, p.378). There appear to be two wives mentioned in various records. It is possible they are the same person, but it seems unlikely. And there is at least some doubt about which children belong to which wife. However, in his will he left his estate to his wife "Margaret" and, at her death, to three children named in the will (sons Patrick, John & Jeptha) (which we believe were her children).
That will was filed in Granville County 18 Nov 1809 and was proved Feb 1811.
Jeptha's death is also recorded in the "North Carolina Star" on 8 Nov 1810.
